Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888
Photograph by Brent Stirton
An Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and journalist, Zimbabwe-born MICHAEL DAVIE has immersed himself in the wildness and unpredictability of Africa—from the front lines of war in Liberia, to the battle to save the Congo’s endangered mountain gorillas, to a progressive prisoner rehabilitation program in South Africa.
In his deeply personal account, Davie evokes the beauty, brutality, and heartache of this misunderstood continent, with one goal in mind: to raise awareness about the courage and humanity he has encountered
among its people. From a place where there are few easy answers, Davie asks the tough questions and gives a voice to the Africa we rarely see.
Enriching his presentation with tales of adventure, extraordinary personal encounters, and riveting film clips, Davie will appeal to all those wanting to understand Africa today and its role in our future.
